New York Fries is a Canadian fast food restaurant that specializes in the sale of french fries and other fast food items such as hot dogs and poutine. Founded in 1984 by Jay Gould and his brother Hal Gould in Brantford, Ontario, the chain has expanded to over 120 locations across Canada and internationally. New York Fries prides itself on offering high-quality, fresh-cut fries prepared in a unique way that distinguishes it from other fast food outlets.

History[edit | edit source]

The concept for New York Fries originated when the Gould brothers visited New York City and were inspired by the taste and quality of the fries they experienced. They decided to bring this concept to Canada, focusing on simple menu offerings centered around premium-quality fries. The first New York Fries outlet opened in 1984, and the brand quickly gained popularity, leading to the opening of additional locations across Canada.

Menu[edit | edit source]

The primary focus of the New York Fries menu is its french fries, which are made from specially selected potatoes that are hand-cut in-store and cooked in a trans-fat-free sunflower oil. The fries are served with a variety of toppings and sauces, including traditional ketchup, vinegar, and a range of specialty options such as cheese, gravy, and the Canadian classic, poutine.

In addition to fries, New York Fries also offers a selection of hot dogs, including the classic hot dog and a variety of loaded hot dog options. The chain has also expanded its menu to include vegetarian and vegan options, catering to a wider range of dietary preferences.

Expansion and Franchising[edit | edit source]

Following its success in Canada, New York Fries began expanding internationally, opening locations in the Middle East, China, and Macau. The brand's international expansion has been primarily through franchising, allowing local entrepreneurs to open their own New York Fries outlets.
